Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better

Living in 2009 where anything is possible, the old double standard still remains the same, if a guy has sex with a lot of girls "Oh he's the man!!" However if a girl does the same thing, she is labled as easy or a whore. Prior to going to college I held this double standard true.
In high school girls rarely express their sexuality freely. College is the time where girls just as well as guys are able to make their own decisions regarding sex. FAU unfortuantely, is very lackadaisal about opposite sex sleeping arrangements.
Yes, there are male and female rooms, however there is no supervision regarding who goes to who's room and what goes on there. This freedom leads to an increase in promiscuity among students. Unfortunately, female students usually receieve the negative connotations associated with being highly sexually active. Its unfair to hear guys banter innocent girls who are basically doing the same thing they are.
One friend of mine actually considered transferring to a different school because the gossip was jus to much to bear. Girls should not shy away from their sexuality but own it.
The website http://www.dantingish.com/ further explores the old double standard, allowing women to freely express themselves and announce "Hey maybe I just enjoy sex okay?!?" Is that really such a bad thing?
